SETTING AND STARTING A PROGRAMME
The AUTO OFF function
This function decreases energy consumption by
deactivating automatically the appliance when it is
not operating.
The function comes into operation:
• 5 minutes after the completion of the
programme.
• After 5 minutes if the programme has not
started.

sure the appliance is in the programme
selection mode.
3. Select a programme from the control panel by
pushing a desired programme button.
A related programme indicator is on.

Opening the door while the appliance
operates
Opening the door while a programme is running
stops the appliance. It may affect the energy
consumption and the programme duration. After
closing the door, the appliance continues from the
point of interruption.
If the door is opened during the drying
phase, before AirDry automatically
opens it, the programme ends after 30
seconds.
If the door is closed after it is opened
automatically by AirDry in the drying
phase, the programme ends after 3
minutes.

within 2 minutes after AirDry
automatically opens it, as this may
cause damage to the appliance.

HINTS AND TIPS
GENERAL
The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and
drying results in daily use and also help to protect
the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes
into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed,
use the prewash programme (if available) or
select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure that the
dishes can be completely reached and washed
by the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not touch or
cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid
and salt separately or you can use the multi-
tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the type of
load and degree of soil. With the ECO
programme you have the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.
THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental effect
on the washing results and on the appliance.
